Original Royal New Zealand Artillery Named Other Ranks Blue Cloth Helmet - circa 1905

Item Description

Original Item. One Only. This is most unusual, in fact we've never seen one before. This is an original Other Ranks or N.C.O.'s Blue Cloth Helmet with Brass Ball top and two positions for storing the brass chained chin strap. For storage, as shown the chin strap lies across the front brow cover of the helmet however for use the chin strap is secured to brass hook hangers on the helmet's interior by the leather heads band.

Differing from an Officer's helmet, this may have been for use by an NCO in that the Ball top mount is slightly elevated by the use of an usual leaf shaped spacer providing extra height.
Dating from some time before the First World War, in great condition. Named to:- "D. SHANNON" on the sweat band. Rare and ready to display!
